Quote

My brethren, do you believe in the Holy Ghost?...Have we such a reliance upon the Holy Ghost? Do we believe that, at this moment, He can clothe us with power, even as He did the apostles at Pentecost? Do we believe that, under our preaching, by His energy a thousand might be born in a day?

Image
Every Christian is either a missionary or an imposter.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
If the Lord's bearing our sin for us is not the gospel, I have no gospel to preach.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When filled with holy truth the mind rests.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
From all the afflictions, Your glory shall spring. And the deeper the sorrow, the louder you'll sing.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Faith is believing that Christ is what he is said to be, and that he will do what he has promised to do, and then to expect this of him.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Some ministers would make good martyrs: they are so dry they would burn well.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
People will not receive the balm of the gospel unless they know something of the wounds that sin has made.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Fits of depression come over the most of us. Usually cheerful as we may be, we must at intervals be cast down. The strong are not always vigorous, the wise not always ready, the brave not always courageous, and the joyous not always happy.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Like Jonah, you may lose your gourd, but you cannot lose your God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
True belief and true repentance are twins: it would be idle to attempt to say which is born first. All the spokes of a wheel move at once when the wheel moves, and so all the graces commence action when regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost. Repentance, however, there must be.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
There is no attribute of God more comforting to His children than the doctrine of Divine Sovereignty. Under the most adverse circumstances, in the most severe troubles, they believe that Sovereignty hath ordained their afflictions, that Sovereignty overrules them, and that Sovereignty will sanctify them all.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
When we bless God for mercies, we usually prolong them. When we bless God for miseries, we usually end them. Praise is the honey of life which a devout heart extracts from every bloom of providence and grace.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Begin early to teach, for children begin early to sin.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
To preach the gospel is to stae every doctrine contained in God's word, and to give every truth its proper prominence.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
God's mercy is so great that you may sooner drain the sea of its water, or deprive the sun of its light, or make space too narrow, than diminish the great mercy of God.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Don't just throw the seed at the people! Grind it into flour, bake it into bread, and slice it for them. And it wouldn't hurt to put a little honey on it
Charles Spurgeon
Image
The grandest discourse ever delivered is an ostentatious failure if the doctrine of the grace of God be absent from it.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
It is not a matter of time so much as a matter of heart if you have the heart to pray, you will find the time.
Charles Spurgeon
Image
Hold everything earthly with a loose hand, but grasp eternal things with a death-like grip
Charles Spurgeon
Image
He would have us like children who believe what their father tells them.
